News out of Miami notes while the Heat was still interested in working with the OKC Thunder to trade for Chris Paul the trade package was far less appealing than what they offered for Russell Westbrook.
The most recent news indicates the Thunder expect to start the season with Paul on the floor. Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed this sentiment and stated this stance was likely tied to a lack of quality offers.
This isn’t exactly shocking given how quickly teams moved to sign free agents this season. It’s left most squads without the available funds to entertain large contracts.
